Marketing won't start until the game has been out a week or two, just to make sure nothing slipped through beta testing. After that, we'll do a news letter and then begin trying to email \\"the world\\".

You're right though, indie sites seem to have lost their voice a little. Maybe it's all about blogs and youtube these days? Marketing is literally just spending an hour a day searching for people to email and maybe $200 on adverts now and again. Not great I know, but we'll keep plugging away.

Feel free to post any sites or blogs or whatever that you think are worth contacting.

TigSource probably isn't any good, A while ago they became quite anti-commercial (which is fine) and hence a few other commercial indies I know stopped bothering with it. Maybe it's different now I don't know.

GameTunnel has been in decline a while sadly, the site owner wrote about it saying he was finding it more and more difficult to get 3rd party sites to carry his news items and as a result his traffice was falling.

Is this all indicative of soom approaching doom or just older sites fading from popularity as newer sites/blogs/youtubes/facebooks rise to take their place? Hopefully the latter

This is a serious issue for the people who love games. I am a regular member to GameTunnel, and now the site is not getting updated. I hope you guys will notice this and update the game sites soon to stop such problems happening. Thanks in advance.
